Intelligent Auto is the NEX-6's automatic shooting mode. The camera analyzes and sets all of the camera settings for you. This leaves you to just point-n-shoot, making the camera easy enough for anyone in the house or family to operate.

Superior Auto is a more advanced automatic shooting mode that uses some the NEX-6's more powerful features. Features like Auto HDR are used here when the camera determines that they are necessary.

Program mode is another automatic shooting mode, but it gives the user control over a wide variety of options that give you some creative control. There are several different screens full of information that are available in all of the shooting modes that can be selected by pressing the DISP. button. Sets of both still and video settings are available as well as an electronic level and settings only screen.

Manual mode gives the photographer complete control over the camera. The 4-way control dial and command dial allow for easy and complete control while shooting. The camera can even be set to manual focus mode which allows any of the Sony E-mount lenses to be manually focused, even the new power zoom lens. For those not quite ready for full manual, the NEX-6 also offers Aperture priority and Shutter Speed priority modes.

The NEX-6 still offers various Scene Modes. These allow you to tell the camera the type of scene you are trying to capture, while still being fully automatic. When you bring up a mode onscreen, you'll get a brief description of its intended use. The available modes are: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Sports Action, Sunset, Night Portrait, Night Scene, Hand-held Twilight, Anti Motion Blur

Sony's easy to use Sweep Panorama mode makes it easy to capture incredibly wide panoramic views with just one press of the shutter release. You just have to pan the camera in the direction it tells you to, and the camera will do the rest for you.

Pressing the Fn button next to the shutter release quickly brings up this menu for quick setting changes.

The 4-way controller on the NEX-6 allows you change several of you most common shooting settings without entering the menu system. ISO, exposure compensation and the self-timer/burst mode are all instantly accessible. Pressing up allows you to change the amount of information that the camera will show.

In rec. mode, you have the option to allow a smartphone to connect to the camera via WiFi to view the images that have been captured. The options above allows you to view a single image, images by date or all of the images on the device.
